Go Up to How To Edit Code in the Code Editor
You can record a series of keystrokes as a macro while editing code. After you record a macro, you can play the macro to repeat the keystrokes during the current IDE session. You can have only one macro at a time, so when you record another macro, it replaces the existing macro.
To record a macro
- In the Code Editor, click the record macro button at the bottom of the code window (or press
